The Federal Ministry of Education (FME), in collaboration with International Institute for Educational Planning, UNESCO (UNESCO-IIEP), organised a capacity building workshop to reduce gender disparity in education in states.
The Minister of State for Education, Yusuf Sununu, at the opening of the five-day workshop for selected state gender desk officers and other stakeholders in Niger State, said the move would improve inclusive education and gender equality.
Mr Sununu said that the move was a step toward reducing the over 20 million out of school children in the country, with girls constituting over 60 per cent of the figure.
